Join the National Congress of American Indians’ Webinar on Addressing the Native Housing Crisis on October 28

By San Kwon, NLIHC Policy Intern

On October 28 at 2:00 pm ET, the National Congress of American Indians (NCAI) will host a webinar titled “Addressing the Native Housing Crisis: Understanding NAHASDA and Charting a Path Forward.” Reauthorizing the “Native American Housing Assistance and Self-Determination Act of 1996” is critical to advancing decent, affordable housing in Tribal communities, and NLIHC will continue to work with Tribal housing partners to advocate for NAHASDA Reauthorization.

The “Native American Housing Assistance and Self Determination Act” (NAHASDA) is the primary federal statute governing the development, operation, and maintenance of housing in Tribal communities. Despite its critical role in building and restoring affordable homes in Tribal communities, NAHASDA has not been reauthorized for a decade, lacking key updates in its programs.

The webinar will explore the current state of the Native housing crisis, trace the evolution of federal housing policy from the pre-NAHASDA era to today, and discuss the path forward for NAHASDA reauthorization. Join NCAI’s webinar to gain insights and tools to advance Native housing solutions and support critical federal reauthorization efforts.
